Today we got up at 2am and left for the airport at 5:30am. A quick 2 hour flight brought us to Nanchang early this afternoon. At about 3pm the seven families went to the Civil Affairs Office to meet our new babies. It was somewhat unofficial, tomorrow we have to go back and do all of the paperwork. They brought the six babies into a really big room and one by one we went up to get them. There was some crying by everyone. It happened so quickly that I can hardly remember it. Kim & I were trying to figure out which child was Cha Bing...we really werent 100% sure. She is adorable. She can and does turn on a cry(with no tears) in an instant, then stop on a dime a be occupied by something else. We have been parents now for 5 hours and she has definetly warmed up to us. She is very smart(cunning & devilish may better describe it) We took her to dinner a little while ago and she was very good and she eats like me. Who doesn't love a good bowl of Congee. Well, we have to come up with a name tonight..which we werent expecting so I need to go. Here are a few pictures

About time on the pictures!
Congrats Mom and Dad.
What a great day it must be for you 2 (3 now).
Nice pictures of Cha Bing, she looks like a little princess.
We hope you got this all on tape.
This may be the first time we have really looked forward to seeing a home video in years. Well at least since the video of the Chicken Dance at your wedding reception.
As for her name, whatever you pick will years from now be the right name for her. Could you imagine if Sean's name was Doug or Kim was Sheila. Doesn't fit them. So whatever name you pick will be perfect.
Maybe put all the names you like in a hat and let Cha Bing pick it out.
I guarantee you it will fit her and you will be happy with it years down the road.
Best wishes and love to you and your family.
Enjoy your experiences and time in China.
She is adorable, beautiful and the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Ellie can't wait to play with her new friend... we are all crying tears of joy in Ocean City NJ. xoxo Megan
Kim and Sean
WOW! You see...Dreams Do Come True! I am so very happy for both of you and she is absolutely precious, adorable and a wonderfully heatlhy looking little girl! Amazing how you can fall in love in just seconds, isn't it?
Take lots of photos, videos etc because these first hours, days and weeks will go by in a blurr. They are all too precious to forget.
Please keep sharing the photos. Once you select her new name, whatever you select will be just perfect.
The hard part is over, no more waiting and now your new lives begin. I am so so so happy for all of you.
Hugs to Baby Cha Bing Robinson. Rachael (and I) are jumping for joy to meet her/our new little friend.
Lots of Love and a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS! Elizabeth, Rachael and Nick
KDR and Sean
Congratulations!!
Merrell, Rosebud, Petunia, and I are really happy for you. A new chapter in your great adventure. Merrell said that Chitty Chitty Bing Bing is really adorable (a guy can't say that even though that's what I was thinking).
She really is "manna from heaven".
Thinking of you. We'll have a beer, maybe two, for you tonight.
Frank and Merrell
